Beautiful Coupé. Love the color-matched stubby!

Just curious... if you have black wheels coming, are you planning to delete any of the chrome as well? (In my pea-brain, it seems like silver wheels & chrome go together, and black wheels scream out for chrome reduction)

I totally agree with you, but I think I found the perfect black wheels
You tell me what you think

I like black wheels as long as they have a silver rim. Otherwise, they can appear as black holes in the wheel-wells.

Those wheels look awesome on that car! I like the compromise between the black sand the chrome. That's why I got the Star Bullets on my car (even though they're really anthracite).

Love it! Our 05 CR/B MCSa is 'Lil Red' as well! I think it would be hard to order a different combo on a coupe...

I agree!! Red is the best color of them all.

Wheels were an Ebay find. But they are the same as the R90 17" Cross spoke composite, black

I think it changed the whole look of the car, and those wheels were not an option for a justa.
